Ja Morant’s Unreal Alley-Oop Step in Grizzlies-Bucks Goes Viral

Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant has been dealing with right thigh soreness that kept him out of Monday’s game against the Chicago Bulls. Morant was again listed on the injury report as questionable for Wednesday’s game against the Brooklyn Nets, but ended up playing.

Not listed at all on the injury report for Thursday’s game against the Milwaukee Bucks, which is the second night of a back-to-back for Memphis, Morant appears to be healthy. Finishing the first half with a near triple-double, Morant entered halftime with 21 points, nine assists and eight rebounds.

Perhaps even more impressive than his overall streak was an alley-oop pass by Morant from the seat of his pants in the second quarter.

This important pass from Morant went viral on social media, the NBA and several other big accounts shared it.

Via NBA: “Ja throws a perfect lob while sitting down “

SportsCenter was among the major sports accounts that shared Morant’s unreal pass.

Morant has been somewhat limited to start the season as the Grizzlies try to keep him healthy throughout the season. The star point guard played just nine games last season due to a 25-game suspension and a season-ending shoulder injury, so the Grizzlies want to make sure he stays healthy all year.

One of the most exciting players in the NBA, Morant showed why in the first half on Thursday.
